owner selling and renter’s rights

[kcal09]

In my opinion it will depend on how the agreement between the seller and the agent is written. Usually the agent should only get a certain percentage of the sales price.

Thanks for the advice and information, everyone. I was unaware about the lockbox or that showings must occur during business hours. That information will come in handy.

As it stands now, the property management company informed us the owner is unsure if they want to sell NOW but has not come to a final decision and will not likely do so in the near future. The spouse of the owner passed away recently so they are getting their estate affairs in order. If I decide to rent another unit from the same property management, they will just roll our deposit over into the unit so it will minimize the impact on my bank account having to come up with a new deposit.

As you can imagine, there is considerable inertia against moving right now because I want to avoid the disruption to my family until I know for certain the condo is close to being sold.

I wanted some guidance from fellow Piggers so that I can protect my family from strong arm tactics or potential deceptive practices from the owner or the management company. I don’t expect any nefarious behaviour on their part, but I just want to be informed of my rights nonetheless.

Can I just reiterate the lock box point? We agreed to one with our last rental, and it was a NIGHTMARE. There were agents stopping by without notice, without an appointment, and knocking on our door and waiting 30 seconds before barging in. We felt very unsafe and put out, and finally told the landlord to remove it.
She was desperate to have the house rented or sold and thought that by removing the lock box, she would lose out on potential clients, so she put up a fight. We ended up threatening legal action before she finally relented and had her agent remove it.

Don’t do it.
